Wreck of the Spanish battleship The Viscaya

from The Field Museum Library

• FrigateRN said:

  An interesting old picture, she will be long gone now.

• Miguel Angel Prieto Ciudad said:

  The correct name is Vizcaya, armored cruiser of the Infanta María Teresa Class. During the Battle of Santiago de Cuba in 1898 it was sunk.

Examining the gun on Almirante Oquendo

from The Field Museum Library

• Calvatheson said:

  I believe this ship is misidentified and is actually Vizcaya. Post-battle photos of Vizcaya on other sites show the fallen mast next to the aft turret, where non of the post-battlephotos of Ocendo show this feature.

• benicektoo said:

  Thanks for adding to NPOI. Something very exotic about these wreck photos.

• FrigateRN said:

  A very interesting series of pictures, appreciate seeing them here.
